Something about back to school season makes us feel like lowering hemlines even if we're (years) out of the classroom. To accommodate these fall vibes with shockingly still-warming weather, we introduce to you the rebirth of the bermuda short. This revamped trend is far from the golf course pro shop selections you're imagining in your head—it works for the likes of Rag & Bone and DKNY, it works for us.
Bloggers and Bermuda Shorts!
Try glamming it up with a strappy heel or recycling an old pair of jeans into a new silhouette. These bloggers are doing it right in sleek and chic Bermudas made for one last end-of-summer hurrah.

HAYS COUNTY, Texas -- A mother filed a lawsuit against the Hays County Jail after her son committed suicide while in custody.
Eric Dykes, 25, hung himself in 2011 after being moved to a solitary cell.
His mother Diana Riley said guards ignored the young man's threats to harm himself.
"When I visited him, he did say that he couldn't stand it there, that you know he didn't want to spend his life like that," Riley said.
The Texas Civil Rights Project is handling the case. In a news conference Thursday morning, attorneys said Dykes was bipolar and was allegedly not receiving his medication on a regular basis.
"When a jail is in charge of someone's life they need to take every precaution possible to prevent these types of tragedies," Texas Civil Rights Project Attorney Scott Medlock said.
Dykes was in jail for robbery. His attorneys said the district attorney plans to dismiss the case.

Albany Police are warning people to beware of a phony taxi cab that was used to rob a man early Sunday morning.
Mario Beltran told police he called for a cab about one o'clock Sunday morning.
He says a yellow minivan with taxi written on the side came to pick him up.
Beltran says once he got inside, two men in the minivan drove him to 1001 Dunes Avenue. The men took his money at gunpoint, and put him out.
Police warn you to make sure you're using a legitimate taxi service before you accept a ride.

Budgeting for the 'Digital Enterprise'
In my experience, strategic planning for transformation is critical to lower costs while increasing innovation and agility.
Real world collaboration strategies and tactics for enterprises.
Oliver Marks leads the Global Digital Enterprise Team at HP, having previously provided seasoned independent consulting guidance to companies on effective planning of business strategy, tactics, technology decisions, roll out and enduring use models that make best use of modern collaborative and social networking tools to achieve their business goals. These are Oliver's views and not those of his employer HP.
In my experience, strategic planning for transformation is critical to lower costs while increasing innovation and agility.
Einstein's Theory of Relativity, Newton's Laws of Motion and other fundamental assumptions may be revised through colossal data analysis exploration flowing from the 'Square Kilometre Array' Radio Telescope
Stopping smart self promoters from dominating collaborative processes is far more important than most realize; over-communicators can wreck workflows and digital commons, causing them to fail.
We need a clear out of dotcom era style hype and froth in order to better focus on building next generation digital enterprises...
Differentiating effective Digital Enterprise workflows from the sea of casual solo social digital grazing continues to be a challenge — but perseverance is well worth it to make work lives simpler
Theoretical knowledge still largely dominates strategic thinking about the social web over practical experience, which has resulted in succession and long term planning issues as business use matures
Talking SMAAC and actually achieving business goals are two very different things as digital business needs mature
Fast removal of old technology to enable new ways of working is essential but often under appreciated: HP are masters at orchestrating disposal governance compliance, financing and contractual reorganization
A down to earth voice from a previous era sounds a warning about overconfident posturing around how to do things by those who rarely have, and lack of respect for those who actually get business done
Real time social initiatives are often hamstrung by old fashioned measurement and process paradigms

SOURCE First Aid Shot Therapy
F.A.S.T. Pain Relief is a new single-dose OTC liquid shot that recently launched in Seattle, WA
SEATTLE, Jan. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumers concerned with recent FDA warnings about risky Acetaminophen doses may be reviewing their options, and First Aid Shot Therapy® (F.A.S.T.) Liquid Pain Relief should be on their radar. This new product contains choline salicylate, which can get into the bloodstream up to five times faster than aspirin*[i], helping deliver relief from pain symptoms in minutes.
F.A.S.T. offers a new way to treat pain - with FDA compliant ingredients in an easy to use, one-dose liquid shot. F.A.S.T. contains two active ingredients: 500mg of choline salicylate and 65mg of caffeine. Choline salicylate is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), pain reliever, and fever reducer, while caffeine is a pain reliever aid*[ii], which increases the response rate to painkillers. Choline salicylate's patent was filed in 1962 and it has been safely used in Europe and Asia for many years.
The two active ingredients combined make F.A.S.T. Liquid Pain Relief a safe, effective way to treat pain, including the temporarily relief of headache, muscle pain, toothache, menstrual pain, pain and fever of colds, minor pain of arthritis and temporarily reduces fever. Each 1.35 fl. oz. (40 ml) bottle is a single dose, and may be taken every 3-4 hours if symptoms persist.
"We started F.A.S.T. because we wanted people to be able to take charge of their health in a better way than they've been able to do anytime in the past 50 years," said Mary Page Platerink, co-founder and CEO of First Aid Shot Therapy. "Getting sick never comes at the right time; it's usually while you're at the office or driving in your car, not when you're standing in front of your medicine cabinet, so we wanted to create a product that was a quick, simple, no-mess, convenient, single-dose of relief that gives people control over their health. And that's exactly what we did."
F.A.S.T. Pain Relief is currently available in leading retailers in Seattle, and nationwide on Amazon.com.
About F.A.S.T.
Like many other successful companies before it, First Aid Shot Therapy® (F.A.S.T.) was born when two really smart people were introduced and started talking. That conversation was in the Bay Area in 2010, when Mary Page Platerink, former Director of Global Strategy for The Coca-Cola Company, met Dr. Jay Pasricha, M.D., then Head of Gastroenterology at Stanford University. With Mary Page's understanding of consumer behavior and Dr. Pasricha's knowledge of pain and upset stomach treatment, they began talking about products that could deliver fast, effective relief for people's most common ailments. And that's how F.A.S.T. was born. The company operates with the help of a Scientific Advisory Board made up of doctors from Johns Hopkins University and The Mayo Clinic. F.A.S.T. products are made in the U.S.A. at F.A.S.T. Labs, based in Woburn, Mass.
About Choline Salicylate
Choline salicylate (KOE-leen sa-LIS-i-late) is an FDA-approved OTC Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID). It is similar to the active ingredient you would find in aspirin, and in fact belongs to the same salicylate family as aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid). However, unlike aspirin, choline salicylate is extremely stable and soluble in liquid solutions. In other words, you won't find aspirin in a liquid solution, only choline salicylate. The combination of this drug with caffeine – which increases the response rate to painkillers – helps make F.A.S.T. Pain Relief effective in treating pain. Both choline salicylate and caffeine are on the FDA Monograph.

Sorry if the formatting is a little weird, but this was just ripped from Notepad when I wrote it.
-NO, it is not really 2.0, it is 1.2
-Bundle name is not "LittleBear", it is "Aspen"
-SDK made apps are a little different than the stock apps. Apart from being in a different directory, they are somewhat like webclips. You hold your finger down on the icon, tap the little 'x', and an "Uninstall Application" dialog appears asking if you would like to uninstall the application
-The frameworks are A LOT different than previous versions. If it gets jailbroken, most apps will definitely have to be rewritten
NEW FEATURE FOUND: There are now parental controls in Settings.
They allow you to control the following:
-Explicit songs on the iPod

2013-14 AAC men's basketball at a glance
Scanning the AAC
(Teams listed in predicted order of finish; non-league record through Sunday in parentheses)
1. Louisville (11-2): A roster shake up and losing state bragging rights -- can the Cards be revived?
2. UConn (11-1): The Magic of Shabazz has loomed large early on.
3. Memphis (9-2): Just 1-2 against ranked teams.
4. Cincinnati (11-2): Claim to fame to date is handing Pitt only loss.
5. SMU (10-2): Mustangs get thrown into fire with Cincy, UConn and Louisville to open league schedule.
6. Temple (5-5): Just 1-3 in games decided by four points or less.
7. Houston (8-5): F TaShawn Thomas only conference player in top 5 in scoring and rebounds.
8. South Florida (9-4): The Bulls' last eight games have been decided by five points or less (5-3).
9. Central Florida (8-3): Tops the AAC in rebounds at 41.1 per game.
10. Rutgers (6-7): Better start fast because a monster schedule awaits Scarlet Knights at the finish.
5 questions
1. Bombs away: Can UConn actually shoot its way to a championship from behind the 3-point line or will they be a big man shy of success?
2. House of Cards: Everyone loved Louisville in the offseason, but can Rick Pitino's crew live up to the hype? They have already shown some cracks.
3. Tiger tough: Memphis was a beast in the C-USA, but how will it handle real league rivals now?
4. Sleepers: Will this league be dominated by the Big 3 (UConn, Louisville, Memphis) or could a surprise team -- SMU? -- emerge to contend for a title.
5. Respect in March: Eight of the 10 schools had winning non-league records, but will the AAC get much love come tournament time?
5 must-see games
1. UConn at Louisville, March 8: This one should decide the AAC regular-season title.
2. Louisville at UConn, Jan. 18: The conference big boys meet for the first time -- and the Huskies will be fresh off a trip to Memphis.
3. Louisville at Memphis, March 1: A late-season battle could have big stakes.
4. SMU at Louisville, Jan. 12: Larry Brown vs. Rick Pitino -- talk about your basketball history!
5. UConn at Memphis, Jan. 16: Will the Huskies be caught peeking ahead to Louisville? Can the Tigers use this as a statement game in the AAC?

The subtle tweaks that appeared on the 2012 Audi A5 and S5 in the European markets (2013 Audi A5 and S5 for the U.S.) will appear on the RS5 when it goes on sale in Europe for 2012 and stateside in the summer of 2012 as a 2013. Unfortunately, Audi is silent on the exact price.
Audi announced the RS5 for the European markets in early 2010 and followed it up a few months later with distant plans for the U.S, but the RS5 never even made it into a U.S. showroom before it underwent a mild redesign. The biggest change is the redesigned light fixtures with standard xenon headlights framed by a strip of LEDs.
Follow the jump to read more about the 2012 2013 Audi RS5.

If it's really my turn in a game, and I come on and see the guy before taking a turn, I assume I have 24 hours and put off that turn. When in reality, I may have quite less than that. If I only play once a day, then I get screwed.
I think there's a huge potential for confusion and a slight possibility for abuse.

Hm. Another decent option. I don't know if I like the idea of a max 14 day wait in 8p games, but the safety net might be nice to offset that.
That would also be nice for team games. If a player wants the advise of his teammates no how toe react to a new move, they might not achieve that with only four hours left.

GreatSchools Rating
The classes are standard across Clark County, but the teachers and atmosphere vary a lot. The campus is very strict about the rules, including running, bullying, tardyness, truancy, even late assignments. The music program is good - they have lots of instruments and have won many competitions. The parent grade/success notification system online is not used to its fullest by all the teachers, which would be nice if they were consistant. Crime is low, and dealt with immediately. I feel my son is getting a fair to good education and will be able to succeed later.
I found a few teachers very good, but the administration and counselours to be among the poorest I have ever encountered. Another individual's comments seem to mimick my own sentiments and I find that the same behaviour continues today. I would advise AGAINST putting your child into this school given the poor administration. We moved to Las Vegas from overseas where my children attended a DOD school and made honour roll each year; A's and B's. Upon attending the school I noticed my son was having a hard time adopting to the culture difference of being among regular students and, as a result, enlisted the help of his counselor who told me that he's in public school and too bad. Then when I explained he was upset and concerned she said I should immediately contact 911. Seriously? This is the typical maturity of the administration I have encountered. When my son requested help from his teachers, one informed him to just go online and pull up his assignments to identify what he should focus on. WOW. The school is absolutely the worst I have encountered. I'd give a negative rating if I could.
I go to EMS and this school is amazing and they offer so many opportunities for their students. I am now in my 8th grade year at EMS and have been there since my 6th grade year. I am in Advanced Choir and our music programs inspire me to do good in school just so I can stay in the music group. Our music classes are Orchestra, Band, and Chorus and each year they each take a trip to perform in Disneyland! EMS gives so many opportunities for students to succeed and that is why I'm proud to say that my middle school is Escobedo!
Okay so I havent gone here yet but I am for my eighth grade year, I'm coming from a very princess preppy school so I hope its not like that for here
I am a parent of a 6th grader and 7th grader. We relocated to the area from Ohio where my 7th grader was a straight A student and my 6th grader was in accelerated classes. There have been so many numerous issue that I have had with this school from not following a 504 plan and my meeting with the school counselor whom was extremely rude, uncaring and wanted to tell me as an involved parent that my child would not get everything handed to him on a silver platter for the rest of his life and they cannot uphold the 504 plan that we have had in place for 4 years. This female counselor told my daughter when she reported another student for touching her rear that if she didn't carry herself in that way that the student never would have touched her. There have been a 3-4 deans since the beginning of 2011-12 school year. The most recent does nothing about a severe issue of bullying at this school. Primarily in the restrooms at lunch and during lunch time. My son has been hit in the gymnasium by another student and nothing was done. There have been 3 fights (physical altercations) on school property within the last 30 days. It's poorly ran from teachers, staff to the dean.
Great school great teachers great coaches and great students.Wouldn't send my children anywhere else.I have four kids at this age level that have finished, or are there, or on the way.
I am a student at EMS and I would recommend this school to everyone! The teachers are great, the crowd is mainly friendly, and it has an amazing band! At first I was worried that I was going to get bullied. when I arrived I thought a lot of kids were going to bully me, but honestly everyone left me alone. I give this a 10 of 10!
I love this school. caring teachers, and very rewarding. I have gotten straight A's the past 3 semesters, and i have gone on the field trips. I love how great the school treats everyone and i look forward to next year!!!
I love our school! Though the bathrooms are sometimes dirty, it's still a good school. They reward you for everything good you do, straight a's, a field trip, straight 0's, ice cream, good in class, student of the month luncheon. It's a rewarding, awesome school!
My daughter has been at EMS since they opened two years ago. And we have to say it has been an amazing journey. The Teachers, Staff and Administration have been very Compassionate in what they do here with our students. As a concerned parent of putting my child in to the Public School District, I have to say no regrets. My daughter came from a Christian Private School that she had attended since she was five yrs old. You can only immagine our concerns. But it has been an Awsome Journey. She is looking forward to High School next year thanks to her Teachers and Counselors.
My daughter entered the 6th grade here this year, and she has excelled. I am very impressed with the patience and effort these teachers put into our kids education.
This school is awesome! You should definitely send your kid(s) here if you can. :D The administration and staff are very friendly, nice, and helpful. There are tons of extra curricular activities and clubs to go to. Also, today, because of our great CRT scores two years in a row (the school has only been open two years) everyone that was here today got a snow cone for lunch! They are really rewarding for great achievements.
Escobedo Middle School is an awesome school. All in all, the teachers provide their students the right education with a touch of fun. (: EMS is really great. It's more of a technology school, to think of. The administration and staff are very friendly, and are convenient at almost anytime.

I have never been one for card games; there is one exception to this rule though: Magic the Gathering (MtG). While it may have taken me a while to discover the wonders offered by the worlds of the Planeswalkers, when I did discover it a few years ago I jumped in, both feet first. My first intro to the world of Magic came with the first release of the modern Duels of the Planeswalkers, back in 2011. The scaled down, digital version of the collectible card game was enough to hook me into the world of Magic and inspire me to learn the ins and outs of then 18 year old game. While my knowledge and tastes for the game have evolved beyond the simplified digital version Stainless Games had created, I still find myself going back to the series with each subsequent release in order to get my "fix".
Last year's release,
Duels 2012
, made some major improvements to the digital formula and brought it much closer to replicating the real experience of the real card game. Next week, the latest release, Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013, finally be released and we will get to see if the new title improves the series even more. I have been fortunate enough to play with a preview build of the game over the past week for the PC and think while the title continues to inch closer to delivering the true Magic experience, there is still some room left to go.
Welcome to the world of Magic
The first thing that I have noticed about this year's edition of the game is that it strives to engulf the player into the world of Magic. This game goes beyond being a simple digital version of the card game and aims to teach players more about the various worlds, or Planes, within the Magic universe.
There is a lot of emphasis on setting the scene in the various planes you will battle on such as Innistrad and Shandalar. The campaign mode in particular, takes to each of the planes and gives you specific details regarding its traits and inhabitants. You will face off against dark enemies on the likes of Innistrad for example. It is made very clear that this is a dark and haunted plane where the undead run rampant.
These traits are also shown off in the new cut scenes features as you both enter new planes and face off against prominant planeswalkers. Garruk Wildspeaker for example is introduced with a an animated sequence and a biographical loading page. The same treatment is given to other prominent names you will face off against such as Chandra and Jace. Of course, the end-game involves a duel with the fiercest Planeswalker of all: Nicol Bolas.
The more things change, the more they stay the same
On the gameplay-surface, Duels 2013 looks a lot like its predecessor(s). The interface and general feel of the game has gone unchanged. Players choose from a variety of pre-made decks, all based on various characters and themes from the Magic universe, and face off against both human and computer controlled opponents. As you win matches, you will unlock additional cards for your existing decks and even unlock new decks to be used; the further that you proceed into the game, the more complex the decks become.
The base decks available in the preview build were all mono-colored decks and will likely be the base decks available the first time that players start the game. Each of the decks, will have 40 cards that can be unlocked by winning matches with them, which should keep players busy for a while. In all, there appear to be 10 total decks for usage but more could be unlocked or coming via DLC in the future.
Of course, once you start unlocking additional cards for a deck, you will want to head into the deck construction mode to tailor them to your liking. This is the one area where there is still plenty of room for improvement to be offered. Unfortunately, Duels 2013 offers the same customization options as its predecessors: alteration of the preconstructed decks. There is no option to fully construct a deck of your own from the cards you have earned access to during your campaign.
This is undoubtedly the one feature that is holding this game back from competing with the real experience. The customization options offered in deck construction in the actual card game is what has kept fans coming back for almost 20 years. While I can understand not offering the entire card catalog digitally in order to preventing competing with their own product, it would at least be beneficial to allow players to have free reign over the cards featured in the game.
Pick your
From the perspective of play mechanics, there has been one major alteration in the form of tapping mana. This time around, when you are utilizing multi-colored decks, players can choose which mana they will be tapping to cast a spell. In the past the game has done this for you and with moderate success. There are only a handful of times during my 100+ hours across both of the previous games where I was unhappy with the mana that the game chose to tap for casting a spell requiring more than 1 type of mana. In those rare occasions where it happened though, I found my strategy and intentions in the particular games almost completely ruined. If you have ever played the game of Magic, you will know exactly what I am talking about.
That won't be an issue this year. Hovering your mouse over a spell will cause the required amount of mana to be highlighted on the playing field; this gives you an idea of what the game intends on tapping in order for you to cast the spell in question. While I couldn't fully test it in the preview due to being constrained to single-colored decks, I was able to select different lands on the field to cast, even if they were of the same color. This gives me some insight on how it will / would work if multiple land / mana types were in play. It is a simple addition that true Magic fans will absolutely adore; I just question why it took them so long to implement it into the game.
Prepare to Planeswalk
Another huge edition to this year's game is the Planechase game type. Similar to last year's Archenemy mode, Planeschase brings another deck into play which alters the playfield for those involved. This time around however, the alterations brought to the game by the Planechase cards will affect everyone involved, not just those assuming the role of the Archenemy.
In this new mode (new to the video game), a deck of special cards if present in the middle of the screen. When the round begins, the top card is revealed and it gives special conditions or alterations to the standard game rules. It may say something like, "while playing this Plane, all flying creatures will receive a bonus of +1 / +1".
The deck is also accompanied by a die; the six-side die contains 2 special sides and 4 blank sides. The blank sides offer no effect while the other two sides will either trigger the reveal of a new Planechase card (or new "Plane") with new features or trigger a special ability listed on the card. Each player is given one free roll of the die with each turn and can pay for additional rolls using their untapped mana. Sometimes, when you have run out of spells to be cast, you will find yourself spending your mana on extra rolls, which keeps the player(s) involved even when they have run out of cards in their hand.
The great thing about the Planechase mode is that you never know how things are going to go. Some matches will be over in a matter of minutes while others may go as long as an hour or more. I played one game where it was down to myself and another player, they had 623 life points and I was down to 6; although the situation seemed very bleak, I came out on top. The only way that I was over to overcome these odds was thanks to some devilish Planechase dealings and the luck that came with the roll of the die. This will undoubtedly become a favorite amongst players online when the full version launches.
Good things to come... hopefully.
Unfortunately, the preview build of the game was extremely limited and very short. What it did show me though in terms of the new mechanics of the game has me excited for the launch next week. There are a ton of new cards, the introduction of both new and old mechanics such as Rebound and numerous Innistrad features. Plus, something that true fans will appreciate, the first glimpse of some new cards that will be featured in the upcoming 2013 Core set. As long as Stainless and Wizards of the Coast continue on the road of improvement as they have these past two years, the future will remain bright for this series. Now if they can only loosen the constraints on deck building, then we could have a serious alternative to the real thing.
Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 will launch next week, on June 20, 2013 for the PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, Steam, and iOS (iPad).

- Keywords has-patch added; needs-patch removed
Patch adds a "generate random password" button to the add user section.
It uses ajax to call wp_generate_password(). We could quite easily generate a password with JS only, but I figured that we should allow the filter in wp_generate_password() to be applied. Open to other opinions however.
comment:9 solarissmoke — 3 years ago
PS I haven't added the password generator to user-edit.php on the basis that you would typically want something random only when it is going to be emailed to the user for first use.
Adding a random password generator to user-edit.php feels like asking for trouble, because you just know someone will hit "update" without taking note of the random password.
comment:10 nacin — 3 years ago
#9210 has a JS version of wp_generate_password() from sivel.

Why not just have a check box to send a random password to the user - no need for js or anything?
comment:12 solarissmoke — 3 years ago

That makes sense. Would it be going too far to just remove the manual password altogether and force a random password?
comment:13 aaroncampbell — 3 years ago
I'd be happy with "Leave blank to have a password randomly generated" although that doesn't make a lot of sense unless you've also checked the box to "Send this password to the new user by email."

Replying to westi:
Why not just have a check box to send a random password to the user - no need for js or anything?
Is there a large enough user population that has JS disabled, so things like this should be baked into PHP where possible?
The JS fix seems like it would fit in best as far as UX goes.

Updated version of solarissmoke's implementation, as the current doesn't apply cleanly. Remove AJAX dependency.

I definitely like the first patch better (even if it needs a refresh). Using wp_generate_password() which allows filtering makes this more useful (especially on enterprise sites with specific password requirements)

I'd love a way to see the password that was generated. There are many occasions when I'm creating accounts for users and I need a record of the password on their account.
comment:20 billerickson — 21 months ago
+1 to Brad's comment. Having the ability to view the randomly generated password when created is definitely useful.
When I send a site to a client for review, I create their user, give it a random password, and email their login information along with a lot of other information.

The Red Commander was a popular dancing bear in the Moscow Circus who volunteered for cosmonaut training. His technical aptitude and dancer's grace with a bear's commanding presence made him shoot through the ranks. Being responsible for the fate of the workers of the Earth and he's hitting the bottle hard.
Alright, I'm goofing off, but I read the subject and really wanted to draw a cosmonaut bear!
The Red Commander was the most popular dancing bear in the Moscow Circus before volunteering for cosmonaut training. His dancer's grace, technical skill, and commanding presence allowed him to shoot through the ranks. Now the fates of billions of his comrades hang in the balance, and the pressure has driven him deeper into the Vodka bottle. Can he pull through with an all-or-nothing shot at victory against insurmountable odds? Do bears poop in their space suits?
Alright, really this was just an excuse to draw a cosmonaut bear. Cary on.

!40 Degrees F is the requied temperature to kill Legionella Bacteria.Temperature affects the survival of Legionella, as follows:
At 60 °C (140 °F) - Legionella dies instantly - pasteurisation occurs.
At 55 °C (131 °F) - 95% die
50 to 55 °C (122 to 131 °F) - Can survive but do not multiply
35 to 46 °C (95 to 115 °F) - Ideal growth range
20 to 50 °C (68 to 122 °F) - Growth range
Below 20 °C (68 °F) - Can survive but are dormant, even below freezing
From published Health and Safety Executive guidance for employers in the United Kingdom http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legionella
I got that from www.Legionella.org Here is an intresting little tidbit from their site as well about Tankless water haters. Note they flash the water to 190º then temper it back down, then learned the leginella was growing in the pipes downstream from the heaters.A minimum temperature of 60°C is required to kill Legionella bacteria in hot water systems (the higher the temperature the shorter the required contact time)
Would you be able to comment on tankless heaters and the efficacy of holding them to a standard promulgated specifically to reduce Legionella risk?We once thought, as you suggested, that elimination of the large volume hot water heater would significantly reduce Legionella colonization in the hot water system. In a survey of 15 hospitals in western Pennsylvania, in 2 hospitals with instantaneous steam heating systems (tankless heaters) no Legionella was isolated from these hospitals. We then replaced the 1000+ gallon hot water tanks in one of our VA hospitals with instantaneous heaters in an effort to decrease Legionella colonization. These heaters flash heated the cold water to 190o and then blended the water back down to the pre-set temperature (which was 140oF). Disappointingly, this installation had virtually no effect on the downstream colonization of fixtures. We now understand that the entire network of pipes is coated with a slime layer (biofilm) within which Legionella resided. The bulk of the Legionella colonization of the water system was downstream of the hot water tanks! This is why active disinfection throughout the system is required to control Legionella bacteria in warm water systems. So, if the temperature of the blended water as it exits from the tankless heater is 140oF, then that should satisfy the Health Departments objective.

Tankless standby temperatures are room temperature. Old and stagnant water is 100% flushed out of the heater every time it is used. After the water heating cycle, a tankless will also heat the water in the heater above 140 degrees.
Tank water heater and distribution system temperature recommendations are listed here.
OSHA recommendations
Background. Domestic hot-water systems are frequently linked to Legionnaires' outbreaks. The term "domestic" applies to all nonprocess water used for lavatories, showers, drinking fountains, etc., in commercial, residential, and industrial settings. Disease transmission from domestic hot water may be by inhalation or aspiration of Legionella-contaminated aerosolized water. Water heaters that are maintained below 60°C (140°F) and contain scale and sediment tend to harbor the bacteria and provide essential nutrients for commensal micro-organisms that foster growth of L. pneumophila. Large water heaters like those used in hospitals or industrial settings frequently contain cool zones near the base where cold water enters and scale and sediment accumulate. The temperature and sediment in these zones can provide ideal conditions for amplification of the organism. Dead legs (i.e., sections of piping or plumbing that have been altered or capped such that water cannot flow through) and nonrecirculated plumbing lines that allow hot water to stagnate also provide areas for growth of the organism.
Design. Water systems designed to recirculate water and minimize dead legs will reduce stagnation. If potential for scalding exists, appropriate, fail-safe scald-protection equipment should be employed. For example, pressure-independent, thermostatic mixing valves at delivery points can reduce delivery temperatures. Point-of-use water heaters can eliminate stagnation of hot water in infrequently used lines. Proper insulation of hot-water lines and heat tracing of specific lines can help maintain distribution and delivery temperatures.
a. To minimize the growth of Legionella in the system, domestic hot water should be stored at a minimum of 60°C (140°F) and delivered at a minimum of 50°C (122°F) to all outlets. The hot-water tank should be drained periodically to remove scale and sediment and cleaned with chlorine solution if possible. The tank must be thoroughly rinsed to remove excess chlorine before reuse.
b. Eliminate dead legs when possible, or install heat tracing to maintain 50°C (122°F) in the lines. Rubber or silicone gaskets provide nutrients for the bacteria, and removing them will help control growth of the organism. Frequent flushing of these lines should also reduce growth.
c. Domestic hot-water recirculation pumps should run continuously. They should be excluded from energy conservation measures.
a. Raising the water-heater temperature can control or eliminate Legionella growth. Pasteurize the hot water system by raising the water-heater temperature to a minimum of 70°C (158°F) for 24 hours and then flushing each outlet for 20 minutes. It is important to flush all taps with the hot water because stagnant areas can "re-seed" the system. Exercise caution to avoid serious burns from the high water temperatures used in Pasteurization.
b. Periodic chlorination of the system at the tank to produce 10 ppm free residual chlorine and flushing of all taps until a distinct odor of chlorine is evident is another means of control. In-line chlorinators can be installed in the hot water line; however, chlorine is quite corrosive and will shorten the service life of metal plumbing. Control of the pH is extremely important to ensure that there is adequate residual chlorine in the system.
c. Alternative means to control Legionella growth include the use of metal ions such as copper or silver (which have a biocidal effect) in solution. Ozonization injects ozone into the water. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation also kills microorganisms. Commercial, in-line UV systems are effective and can be installed on incoming water lines or on recirculating systems, but stagnant zones may diminish the effectiveness of this treatment. Scale buildup on the UV lamp surface can rapidly reduce light intensity and requires frequent maintenance to ensure effective operation.

No anode rod, so no metal accumulation. There is no concentrated mess of goop stored in a tankless heat exchanger. An 8 year old tank type water heater has 8 years of accumulated gook stored in the tank.
Whatever "crap" runs through a tankless water heater is no different than what runs though the cold water tap.

Hint on peak water temperature in the heat exchanger. What is the coolant temperature in your truck's engine after you turn off the engine?
What is growing in your household cold water pipes? Same water temperature!
In addition with each use of hot water in a tankless system, by the time hot water gets to the point of use in a private home all of the "stagnant" water has been flushed from the heater and the hot water distribution pipes.
If you use 1/2 of the water in a tank heater you don't have hot water anymore. You do end up with a 1/2 a tank of "old" water mixed with some "new" water. Water in the hot water distribution pipes is never flushed but is just replaced with water stored in the hot water tank.
Commercial buildings like a hospital are hardly comparable to a home hot water system.
We had that discusion before. What is the legal definition of "peak use"? The prior answer was it all depends!
I think that adequate for the intended use is the term that is used in codes in my area.

Not really. You are starting from a hot water going to warm which is more an ideal growing temperature than cold water.What is growing in your household cold water pipes? Same water temperature!
If you keep the tank hot enough like in the Bradford White model GX-2-25S6BN Which stores the water at 180º and distributes it at the set temperature of 120º Yes it may be a small 25 gallon tank but it can provide 155 gallons of hot water in the first hour. Its big brother GX-1-55S6BN which is a 55 gallon tank can give you 200 gallons of hot water in the first hour.In addition with each use of hot water in a tankless system, by the time hot water gets to the point of use in a private home all of the "stagnant" water has been flushed from the heater and the hot water distribution pipes. If you use 1/2 of the water in a tank heater you don't have hot water anymore.
Well you are right and you are wrong. Yes a home will not have as long of a distance from the tankless units to the fixtures. But things still can grow in the lines after the tankless system. Also if you think about it lots of people only set their tankless to 115º to 120º which is the ideal temperatures for things to grow in it. Please do not be under a false sense of security that you or your family can not get sick just because you got rid of the tank.Commercial buildings like a hospital are hardly comparable to a home hot water system.
Peak use is all the fixtures turned on at once. If you do not believe me call your local plumbing inspector and ask them what they consider as peak flow per the code.We had that discusion before. What is the legal definition of "peak use"? The prior answer was it all depends!
Oh and the minimum water pressure at all the fixtures during this peak flow is to be at least 8 p.s.i. per the code again. When you open more hot water taps in the home and if the tankless system is undersized it will restrict the flow rate so it can still deliver hot water. I have seen installs where when people opened 3 hot water taps I be lucky to see a trickle come out of the fixtures.

Any documantation of your theory? The water temperature will rise after the water flow stops!
A tankless water heater does not store hot water. Cold and hot water pipes will equalize at room temperature, so they are both the same temperature when not in use. A tank water heater never cools down.
Don't you need a 3/4 inch gas feed for those? I would have to install a new vent also. You know, that looks to be as expensive as a tankless installation!
You also forgot about all the crap that settles in that a tank water heater. 180 degree water storage temperature makes things much worse. That temperature setting conflicts with this recommendation: "** Excessive lime scale formations can also be reduced by setting the water heater temperature control at the lowest possible temperature which will provide satisfactory hot water service. The usage of water softening equipment greatly reduces the hardness of the water. However, this equipment does not always remove all of the hardness (lime). For this reason it is recommended that a regular schedule for deliming be maintained."
"The amount of calcium and magnesium carbonate (lime)
released from water is in direct proportion to water
temperature and usage, see chart. The higher the water
temperature or water usage, the more lime deposits are
dropped out of the water."
Tankless heaters do not store water at 120 degrees. The water temperature in a tankless is room temperature the vast majority of the time. Hardly the "ideal" temperature for things to grow in. Same temperature as the hot and cold water pipes.
Adequate for the intended use if the general wording of the various codes here.

Whatever little hope I had in the Russian team has now been lost completely.
I was just searching to see if they had the same coach...this absolutely STINKS of an organised doping system. Can we trust any of Russia's leading athletes? As much as I have believed quite a high amount of Russian gals were doped, I could still manage to support some members of their team like Soboleva, Guschina, Tomashova. But the fact that these 6 names, pretty much represent the entire team, well....how can anyone have faith in the rest? Samitova? Kapachinskaya? Volkova?
It's going to be tough watching a Russian Gal beat out a personal favourite in Beijing.
That said, I live by the mantra that Isi can't be on anything, nor would it help!

There's something compelling about riding on a single wheel. It could be the simplicity of equipment, or the challenge, or that you can ride for years and always find something new.
A unicycle is a human-powered, single-track vehicle with one wheel. Unicycles resemble bicycles, but are less complex.Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicycle
Unicycling provides the cycling equivalent of minimalist running: a close connection to the environment you're riding. It turns the world into a playground waiting to be ridden, and these days there's a riding style to fit every age and ability. Keep reading to explore unicycle riding and find your next adventure ...
Unicycling is just as diverse as biking, covering everything from rides around town to remote backcountry trails. Here are the most common types of unicycle riding:
Listen to Kris speak about unicycling at FEAT Canada 2013.
For many people, learning to unicycle gives a huge sense of accomplishment because it feels impossible at first, but with persistence becomes completely doable. Young or old, anyone can learn and it's easier than most people think. If you're new to the sport, here are a few tips to get started:

I just wanted to share this story with everyone...
I was just starting my LBWO this morning -- doing squats on the smith machine -- when an older gentleman approached me.
He's about 75 or so and fit as a fiddle, a real Jack Lalanne type. I see him in the weight room every time I do weights -- for all I know, he's pumping iron seven days a week.
He says to me, "Do you mind if I give you a little advice? You need to go just one inch deeper. It'll make all the difference in your squats. But you're strong!"
At first I was a little embarrassed, as though I came across like a beginner. I was also a little mad. I know how to do squats! Would this guy ever say this to a man? I doubt it! Did he think I was just some gym bunny? YARGH! But then I put my ego in check and thanked him for his advice and did my next set with a deeper squat. Okay... he was right. I left the smith machine trembling, feeling that deep burn.
A little while later in my workout, he approached me again. I had just finished a set and was panting and sweating, my face red.
He said to me, "I really hope I didn't offend or embarrass you before. It's just that I can see you're really serious - I wouldn't say anything otherwise. A lot of people come in here and they don't know what they're doing -- not you. You're not just strong, I can see you have heart, and I respect that."
I told him, "Thank you. I just work hard!"
It was great motivation to keep pushing my tens. I'd earned the respect of this man, and he'd taken notice of my efforts.
Anyone else have a story of other people noticing your efforts in the gym?
I have a couple and it is such a HUGE ego boost and motivator!! My first was about 6 weeks into my challenge an older lady that works at the gym I go to stopped me to ask how much weight I had lost and then told me my efforts were really paying off and that I looked great!
The second time I was doing bicep curls and I overhead a guy tell his buddy "dang I need to step it up she is curling as much as I do"!! Even though he didn't say it directly to me this is one of my favorites!!
The third was when another guy probably 15 years older than me told me "You have really great form" and then asked "how did you learn your way around a gym so well?" ;-)
Finally the last a woman who I see at the gym pretty much everyday approached me and asked me if I was in "fitness competitions", lol I was like no, but thank you. She said she assumed I was involved in fitness competitions and that I looked great and that she couldn't believe how much I could lift. She went on to say she watched me doing bench step-ups one day and went home to try it and couldn't even do one step with the weight I was using!!! That really made my whole week!!
Wow, those are all awesome! Great examples.
I've certainly got tons of looks from guys in the gym over how much weight I'm lifting, the exercises I'm doing and how hard I'm working, but this was the first time anybody said anything.
That fitness competition comment is the BEST, 1fitmama!
I've had a few instances like that in the gym. One lady has seen me there day in day out for the better part of the year and came over to tell me I was doing great and looking amazing. I was feeling particularly down that day, so it felt good. It was also nice to bond with someone over the trials of getting into shape and the way others react to it all.
Another instance happened this week in the lockerroom. During active rest, I've been alternating between spinning and swimming. I just finished swimming and an elderly gentleman asked me just how much weight I lost. I told him the total (103 lbs) and he wanted to know all about my routine. He says he'll have to try this after seeing how well I've done. It really is a good feeling to get noticed for that.

Welcome to Mexico
Leave the crowds behind you and guarantee a smooth beginning and end to your well earned vacation, by reserving Private Round Trip Transfers between your point of arrival in Mexico and your chosen accommodation. With no need to wait for your fellow passengers, enjoy a personal, fastrack service in a modern, fully air conditioned vehicle providing you with the level of service and experience that you expect.
Whether you want adventure, culture, sport, relaxation or shopping, Mexico has something for everyone. We have hand picked a wide variety of quality products which will turn your vacation into an unforgettable experience. Let us show you all that Mexico has to offer!
Mexico is a diver's paradise! The diversity of diving spots makes it one, if not THE, best diving destination in the world. In the Mexican Caribbean, the great Mayan Reef extends from Honduras up to Cancun, making it the 2nd longest barrier reef in the world. The sleepy island of Cozumel is a mecca for diving, and the Pacific Ocean plays host to some wonderful diving on the South and East coasts.
Mexico has always been famous as a fantastic sport fishing location. The water temperatures, currents and feeding habits of the fish combine to provide ample opportunity to bring in an impressive haul - while enjoying a spectacular day at sea.
There has been an explosion of golf course construction in Mexico, fueled by both a booming tourism sector clamoring for more quality golf venues and the increasing popularity of the sport in the country - due in large part to Mexican star Lorena Ochoa. The men's PGA Tour has recognized the quality of courses by awarding a tournament to the Fairmont Mayakoba course in the Riviera Maya.
Although generally more entertaining than factual, Hollywood generated images of famous Spanish explorers discovering the land, subjugating the locals and Zorro coming to their rescue is unfortunately how most of the world has come to know Mexico. Mexico's history is as long as it is fascinating. Depending on which experts' theory you subscribe to, the presence of human inhabitants in the lands now called Mexico can be traced back some 21,000 years. Read more>>
The fascinating cultural nuances of Mexico reflect the complexity of Mexico's History. It is a blend of mysterious Amero-Indian civilizations that flourished for thousands of years, the influence of Spain's colonization from the 16th to the 18th century, the formative years of the country after it's revolution for independence and the inevitable process of change in the modern world. Read More>>
Mexico is bordered by the United States to the north and Belize and Guatemala to the southeast. The country is about one-fifth the size of the United States. Baja California in the west is an 800-mile (1,287-km) peninsula and forms the Gulf of California. In the east are the Gulf of Mexico and the Bay of Campeche, which is formed by Mexico's other peninsula, the Yucatan. The center of Mexico is a great, high plateau, open to the north, with mountain chains on the east and west and with ocean-front lowlands lying outside them.
From the United States and Europe there are over a dozen major schedule Airlines servicing the country. In addition, the two international Mexican airlines, AeroMexico and Mexicana, have flights from a number of American cities via southern hubs in Miami, Houston, Dallas, or Los Angeles.There are many charter Airline services which fly directly into Cancun, Cozumel or one of the Pacific resorts like Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos, Ixtapa or Huatulco.
